Just listen…Episode 283 Paul Thompson - Quite a new episode but I would think everyone would agree this is a top episode.

I agree we need more information.

I have agreed to a 6 month lease with deposit.

Two months ago, he suggested that I buy a lawnmower for the tenant to do his own lawn work so I don't need to hire lawn service so I did and I agreed not to increase his rent as a result of that.

Now, I cant say I completely agree with that philosophy, but they are definitely doing well and they definitely have a point in that waiting to invest is probably worse than investing at the current time.

I agree it's important for branding when networking and so forth. 

Second, you can also ask for whatever you want, the seller may or may not agree to your requests.

@Kyle J. 100% agree with you. 

Abstract fees (abstract of title fees).Charges for installing utility services.Legal fees (including title search and preparationof the sales contract and deed).Recording fees.Surveys.Transfer taxes.Owner's title insurance.Any amounts the seller owes that you agree to pay, such as back taxes or interest,recording or mortgage fees,charges for improvements or repairs,and sales commissions.Settlement costs do not include amounts placed in escrow for the future payment of items such as taxes and insurance.3) if there were other costs incurred to acquire the house such as if you spend money for tax advice, tickets to fly to look at the house( or milage)  and such also gets added to the basisGood luck

I agree with @Jason DiClemente.
